Sad but Grateful

This afternoon I found out that a family friend was killed in an accident this morning. How tragic and sad. Driving home I was so jumpy, watching every light and every car doing my best to be overly aware of everything around me. It's sad that these traumatic experiences remind us of all that we are are blessed with. It's also such a reminder at how quickly your whole life can change. My heart aches for his sweet wife knowing she probably kissed him goodbye thinking he'd be home for dinner... How grateful I am for the gospel of Jesus Christ that allows us to be sealed together forever as families. You better believe that I held Rand a little longer tonight when he got home, and gave the kids extra kisses before bed. I hope tomorrow I will remember to be a little kinder, a little more patient and loving to those around me because you just never know what your future holds.
